Manlove, of the Forty-eighth regiment, by my assignment, was in command of the Twelfth regiment, and Lieutenant-Colonel James H. Duncan, of the Nineteenth regiment, by my assignment was in command of the Sixteenth regiment. If there are as many errors made as to other commands, the compilation is not a very valuable one. General Humphreys, in his Virginia Campaign of 1864 and 1865,Appendix C:, page 416, is more accurate, though his roster was evidently made upon returns dated about the first of the month of August, as t

George. In the recent death of Ex-Governor John Letcher, at his residence in Lexington, Virginia, there has passed away one of the ablest, most fearless and most incorruptible of the Confederate War Governors. He carried through life the soubriquet he won in the old United States Congress—Honest John Letcher, the watch-dog of the treasury, and in his death Virginia has lost one of her ablest statesmen-one of her purest patriots. Peace to his ashes! General J. F. Gilmer, the able and accomplished Chief of Engineers of the Confederacy, died at Savannah several weeks ago; and we have been waiting for a promised sketch of his distinguished services, which we regret has not come in time for this issue.
